Jol hopeful Lennon will make Cup quarter-final

The England winger missed Sunday's first away win of the season at Manchester
City after suffering slight inflammation in his knee.

But Jol claimed Lennon could still be considered for the cup tie at White Hart
Lane.

'He had an operation earlier in the season and the inflammation came up
again, so it was better for us to rest him,' said the Dutchman.

'It's something that comes and goes. Hopefully he'll be fit for selection on
Wednesday, if not, we'll have to wait another week.'

Meanwhile, England under-21 midfielder Tom Huddlestone has labelled his
stunning 20-yard strike against City as the best of his career to date.

It was Huddlestone's first goal for the club in the Barclays Premiership and
only the fourth of his fledging career.

But Huddlestone said: 'I think it was the best, to be honest. I have been
working on my shooting recently because it is a key element that I need to
improve on.

'I didn't score in 98 games for Derby so I knew I needed to work it. I have been practising near-enough every day and hopefully it is coming good
now. There is like a two or three second delay with it being an away game
because our crowd weren't at the end I scored.

'I was checking I wasn't offside or anything like that and wasn't sure what
to do, but the lads came over quickly to celebrate with me.

'We knew they would come out all guns blazing after half-time. They changed
their system - which benefited them a lot - and we found it quite difficult.
Once they got the goal it was just a case of fighting hard to keep our lead.'

Meanwhile, Club Brugge manager Marc Degryse has said they have been discussing
a possible co-operation deal with Tottenham.

Manchester United have a similar arrangement with Royal Antwerp and Chelsea
have close links with both Westerlo and PSV Eindhoven of Holland.

Now former Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Degryse has now revealed Spurs are
the latest Premiership side to look to Belgium for new talent.

Degryse said: 'We are supposed to fit in their plans for the long term.
Tottenham want to use us to give players from their African academies a
chance.'
